Known for its mouthwatering traditional breads, the Yeast of Eden bakery has gained fame across Northern California’s coast. Now the shop is bound for Reality TV—but a murder may kill its reputation . . .

 

People come to the beach town of Santa Sofia as much for the healing properties of Yeast of Eden’s breads as for a vacation getaway. And now a cable food channel has selected the bakery as a featured culinary delight for a new show. Baking apprentice Ivy Culpepper is excited as the crew arrives, ready to capture all the ins and outs of the renowned bread shop. But instead they capture something much harder to stomach: the attempted murdered of the show’s cameraman just outside Yeast of Eden . . .

 

With no motive and no clues, and the town craving answers, it will be up to Ivy to sift through the evidence to find the truth. But she’ll have to move quickly before someone else is targeted or the wrong person gets the heat—and the business collapses like a deflated soufflé, right before her eyes.

  Recipe

Rosemary Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp yeast
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm water 21⁄2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 Tbsp butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 375º F. Proof the yeast by adding to warm water and sugar. Let it rest for five or ten minutes until it becomes bubbly.

Mix in the butter, salt, and 2 cups of the flour. Add 1 Tbsp of the rosemary to the dough.

Knead for about 10 minutes by hand (or use the dough hook on a mixer) until smooth and elastic. Add more flour, as necessary.

Oil a metal or glass bowl, or proofing basket. Place dough into the bowl and cover with a towel. Leave in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, approximately one hour.

Punch down. Divide into two equal parts and let rise for an additional fifteen minutes. Shape each piece into 2 rounded oval loaves. Sprinkle additional tablespoon of rosemary on top of the loaves and lightly press it into the dough.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil. Place prepared loaves on the baking sheet. Let rise for an additional 45–50 minutes.

Place in hot oven and bake 20 minutes or until brown.

After removing from the oven, brush lightly with butter or olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt (optional).

  1. I am a huge fan of bread! I don't think there is a type of bread that I don't love. Combine bread with my other great love, cozy mysteries, and I am in Heaven!
